Sloane’s sister Willa fell from the Whitmore Group tower. The killer walked free. Desperate, Sloane draws a blade—but is stopped by Holden, who brings her into the Elite Social Club. He trains her to become “Celeste,” the spitting image of Conrad Whitmore’s long-dead first love. Her mission: seduce the aging patriarch, infiltrate the family, and bring down the empire from within. Holden is Conrad’s illegitimate son—her teacher, her handler, and the man who shares her hatred. As the plot tightens, Sloane unplugs Conrad’s oxygen and watches Blaine fall from a terrace. Only then does she realize she’s been both a weapon and a player all along. When Holden asks her to stay and become Mrs. Whitmore, she faces the one question revenge never answered: what comes after the fall?
